fluids 20-30 ml/kg/hr
start with 20 and repeat as needed with 500 cc/bolus

-pressors as needed ( norepi)

25
Q
Lung volumes 
TLC

RV
FRC

changes in pregnancy

A
TLC- total 
VC- how much can be exhaled
RV- left after VC
FRC- left after normal breath 
ERV- FRV- RV
decreased ERV/FRC/ RV
VC preserved
Incrased TV
RR unchanged
minute ventilation > 50%
  • avoid over ventilation goal pCO2 30-32

<2 episodes/week
PEFR>80%

29
Q

mild persistant

A

> 2x week

30
Q

Immunospressive medications in pregnancy

A

immunosuppression regimen in pregnant transplant recipients is the combination of a CNI (either tacrolimus or cyclosporine), azathioprine, and low-dose prednisone

The use of mycophenolate mofetil, sirolimus everolimus- not recommended

31
Q

SLE treatment pregnancy

A

hydroxychloriquine
-prednisone

  • can consider tacrolimus, cyclosporine, azathioprine
32

NYHA class II 0.75
Left heart obstruction 2.5 
Cardiac medication 1.5 
Systemic AV valve 0.75
Pulmonary AV valve 0.75
0-2.9%

NYHA III/IV -1

Valvular and outflow tract obstruction
AV<1.5, MV <2 LVOT gradient >30 - 1

Myocardial Dysfunction
LVEF <40%, Cardiomyopathy -1

Mortality

34
Q

NYHC

A

1- normal
2- fatigue with physical activity
3- fatigue with daily life
4- uncomfortable at rest

35
Q

Bacterial endocarditis ppx

A

prosthetic heart valve
prior infective endocarditis
unrepaired congenital heart disease
repaired CHD for 6 months after repair with prosthetic material

  • discuss with cardiology
    ppx is ampicillin
36
Q

why is vaginal delivery perferred in cardiac disease

A
decresed blood loss
decreased pain
decreased fluid shifts
decresed immobilization
decreased thrombosis
37
Q

how do you alter labor management with cardiac disease

A

labor in lateral decubitus

“slow” epidural (maybe not aortic stenosis)

38
Q

work up for palpitations

A

EKG
thyroid
UDS
- caffeine, smoking, alcohol use

39
Q

Pulmonary hypertension for esingmenger pearls

A

decreased SVR will cause worse R to L shift and potentially death due to lack of oxygenization

NO/intravenous prostacyclin reduce PVR
Anticoagulation

delayed death can be seen 4-6 weeks
